"Maytag Virgin" opens at Barter

•OPENING AUG. 27: “Maytag Virgin” opens at Barter Theatre’s Smith Theatre, Abingdon, Va. When Jack moves in to a house next to Lizzy they find that they have as many things in common as they do differences, and a relationship that begins as a coincidental, neighborly friendship becomes an unexpected journey of self-discovery and healing. This is a character driven play set in the Deep South. Peopled with quirky yet recognizable characters and full of humor and evocative language. 276-628-3991, www.bartertheatre.com
